When you think about settling a dispute with a tenant without going to court, arbitration as an alternate dispute resolution method might immediately come to mind. Mediation is typically faster and more economical and efficient than either fighting in court or using the more traditional out-of-court strategy of arbitration. Plus, mediation fosters, rather than destroys, the landlord-tenant relation­ship by letting you and the tenant work together to create a mutually satisfactory solution.
